I hold a cornucopia and a golden crown
For you to wear upon your fleecy down


It appears I haven't tagged any posts with Fleet Foxes which is a considerable oversight. Go listen to the song and you'll agree. They're a great little outfit of guys with a talent for vocal arrangements and a very retro sound. The lyrics hover around in little fragmented stories of country life and images of nature.

As you have noticed I have started to write comments on the posts lately. Don't know why, it just felt right to start qualifying my recommendations. Peace Out

Lay your weary head to rest

SLEEP TIGHT
LAY YOUR WEARY HEAD TO REST
TONIGHT
THE WOLF’S BEHIND THE GLASS


After a tip from my sister in-law Blaudzun of Holland has become a regular in the headphones. Here's one reason why.

it's that ancient love that you won't outgrow

it's that ancient love
that you won't outgrow


I discovered Bombay Bicycle club through WatchListenTell a few weeks ago. They did an acoustic version of this song and it blew me away in its simplicity and the guys were all so Ronald Weasley.. Since then, their album has been on repeat in my headphones. I will post a few of their other gems soon.

Time will see us realign

To the edge
till we all get off
I will take you away with me

Once and for all

'Deftones - Diamond Eyes' is a rediscovery for me. I used to listen frantically to their debut album, more years ago than I care to remember. It fills me with joy to see they still produce such marvellous metal.

Oh, The divorces!

She's great. She's back. She's Tracey Thorn. Go listen to her album here.

And on an informative note Spotify have recently removed some of my favorite albums so some past links may not work anymore.. Boo and hiss. It is an annoyance that agreements with record labels and artists seem to be subject to random changes without information.

>:-(

For this reason I feel I should tell you that there are alternatives to Spotify, albeit being on more shaky legal ground and I have no idea if the artists get anything for being listened to. Check out grooveshark at www.grooveshark.com. It's free and it's commercial free. I just figured out how to share tracks from GS so I'll be starting to do that from now on when Spotify fails..

Take care

Peace on earth

P O W

And we can dance like open windows in the evening air

And we can dance like open windows in the evening air

for something

I'm almost done
and the fine line between
this and some dream
is that I sold my soul
for something
i could never give

People climbed into the night like cool wells

People climbed into the night like cool wells
Shiny bottles in their hands
Drinking their new selves
They say it's their true selves

i hate this place i hate this crowd

it's cold in here
the music is too loud
i hate this place
i hate this crowd

All clothed in black

What once was clothed in white
Bears the bruise of a burden

If you just hold in your breath

If you just hold in your breath
'Til you come back up in full
Hold in your breath
'Til you've thought it through
You fool

Shooting up the ladder

You're pink you're young you'e middle-class
they say it doesn't matter
fifteen blue shirts and womanly hands
you're shooting up the ladder

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet-talk
newspaper word cutouts

They made it past the enemy lines

They started out beneath the knowledge tree.
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences,
And, marching along the railroad tracks,
They smile real wide for the camera lenses.
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines.

There'll be no comprimising

Cold, no heat on the horizon
guess I'm cold
there'll be no comprimising
cold
cool
cold
stone cold


(This is an old favourite of mine from the great Tears for Fears... enjoy)

They scour the earth for the things they saw in your tiny little hands

They raise you up like a God onto your tiny little stand
Until their faith, once like a rock, is ground up turning into sand
They scour the earth for the things they saw in your tiny little hands
You see, they're old enough to dream but just too young to understand
Gabriella, was this all part of your plan?

Stay out super late tonight

Stay out super late tonight
Picking apples, making pies
Put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
We're half awake in a fake empire

With the wild wolves around you

With the wild wolves around you

A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel

And I'm ill with the thought of your kiss
Coffee laced, intoxicating on her lips

A tree born crooked will never grow straight

A tree born crooked
Will never grow straight
She sunk like a hammer into the lake

A long lost letter
and an old leaky boat
Promises I never meant To keep

Elements - A fine frenzy

Oh the elements I do not fear
But I fall apart when you appear
Cos you are the greatest
The greatest disaster

the things we did i can´t forget

Your picture is still on my wall
The colors are bright
bright as ever
the things we did i can´t forget

your boldness stands alone among the wreck

your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck

as you see the snow kiss the curb

You're up on the bar and you're shaking
With every grimy word
Who will you love
What's love when you've hurt
You wonder as you see the snow kiss the curb

One little leak becomes a lake

The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb
Fifty feet of concrete underground
One little leak becomes a lake
Says the tiny voice in my earpiece

Caught in a rat's nest

Clicks on the phone
I cannot help you
Caught by your work
Caught in a rat's nest
Eat our young
Chew through wires

Still shudder when I see that dorsal fin

is it cold outside
enough to chill
daisies on the window sill

What's lost can never be broken

Everything has it's price
Everything has it's place
What's more romantic than dying in the moonlight?

Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow
